GRR: College Men
Aside from the NCR DII college playoffs there was another important DII college game going on last weekend.
Auburn defeated Memphis 25-15 to win the SCRC DII and book a place in a championship clash with Rocky Mountain champs Montana State at the CRAA Championship weekend in Mathews, NC Dec 4.
In the ongoing balance of testing different teams from different conferences, Kutztown defeated Iona 54-24 in the NCR DI quarterfinals.
As we always say, the playoffs are a welcome opportunity for us to see where teams match up against teams from other conferences.
This year was no different, and, actually, the rankings held up well for the most part.
Life University's tour of California ended with a loss to the Life West men's club and, on Monday night, a last-second victory for Saint Mary's.
Some fun thoughts on the Men's D2 Playoff bracket.
Competitiveness. Seven games could be described as close, which in our minds means within 14 points. Seven out of 15 games played so far is ... not great but not horrible. Only two games were within a try.
